The AHL just announced today that TJ was named the 2013 Presidents Award winner...WAY TO GO!!

"The President's Awards are given to an AHL organization for excellence in all areas off the ice, and to an AHL player in recognition of his outstanding accomplishments in the past year. The Toronto Marlies were also named President's Award winners.

Undrafted out of the Western Hockey League where he played for his hometown Spokane (Wash.) Chiefs, Johnson followed up his breakout rookie season with an MVP performance in 2012-13. The 22-year-old Johnson led the AHL with 37 goals and finished with 65 points in 62 games, then followed up with 21 points in 18 playoff games to help the Crunch reach the franchise's first Calder Cup Finals. Johnson also made an impression during his first recall to the National Hockey League, chipping in with three goals and three assists in 14 games with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
